With its strong scientific foundation and scalable format, The Quest Profiler® is a great solution for any organisation seeking accurate, actionable insight through a trusted personality profiling platform.
Why Use Personality Profiling Over Traditional Interviews?
Many organisations still rely on interviews to assess behavioural characteristics, but these are often subjective, inconsistent, and prone to unconscious bias. While interviews can be useful for evaluating communication skills, they struggle to reliably predict other important behavioural traits that affect long-term performance and team dynamics.
The Quest Profiler® bridges this gap with a scientifically validated psychometric assessment that provides objective, data-driven insights into individual behaviour and personality.
What is The Quest Profiler®?
The Quest Profiler® is a powerful and sophisticated psychometric assessment specifically designed for work-based personality profiling. As a trait-based instrument, it measures preferred behaviours across a spectrum of fundamental personality characteristics crucial for workplace success, rather than assigning individuals to broad types. This detailed approach provides a nuanced understanding of how a person is likely to approach tasks, interact with colleagues, and respond to workplace demands.
Developed through rigorous research, The Quest Profiler® offers a reliable and comprehensive way to gather objective data on behavioural preferences. It translates complex psychological principles into clear, actionable insights relevant to professional environments. By understanding these underlying traits, organisations can gain a much clearer picture of candidates and employees, forming a solid foundation for informed decision-making in recruitment, selection, team building, coaching, and individual development planning.

We use The Quest Profiler® and the wider eras tools heavily at Snow and they are a key part of our kit. From recruiting tools to developmental psychometrics for individuals and teams through to leadership 360s the quality of the data and reports has made a significant difference to our people worldwide. They gain insights and actionable feedback that helps them grow and build the success and careers they aspire to.
The Psychometric Portal® provides an excellent variety of instruments. The flexibility offered by the 360 tool is crucial in our industry and being able to use the system on a pay-as-you-go basis is a huge benefit.
We have been working with eras for many years now and specifically use the 360 function regularly. The 360 function is fantastic as we can amend it to suit whatever we need. It's easy to use and produces really useful information in a very professional report. When working with eras I've personally found them to be extremely responsive and very helpful, they go out of their way to support and find solutions.
The Quest Profiler is the most versatile personality instrument I have ever used. It does everything from generating interview questions to offering advice for future development. Whatever my needs are, it meets them in full.
Thank you for the extra support you were able to give, it did help us focus, as it was meant to do.
What I like about The Quest Profiler® is the wealth of different outputs it provides, from team styles to conflict handling, and from culture matching to competencies. You would normally have to use multiple personality tools to achieve this, but they all come from the same 25 minute questionnaire!
Just to say thank you again for sending the reports for me last week; it was really helpful and helped us to keep our recruitment process moving forward.
I'm very excited about the newer features of The Psychometric Portal®, and praise eras for its splendid customer service.
The eras team provide exceptional support that is not only professional but human as well. No 'ask' is ever too much and any queries or concerns I have are addressed promptly, reflecting a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction.
eras are a real pleasure to work with. As well as great customer support, they always go the extra mile and are very responsive to our needs. The Psychometric Portal® is extremely user friendly as well as completely customisable with our own branding.
